I’m all for lights, camera, action in anthropology. What strikes me is how the berth of anthropology is becoming wider and wider which I think is a good thing.

I first become interested in anthropology after watching Micheal Wesch “An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube”. Since then I’ve been following anthropological blogs like yours and I’m very happy with what I’m reading. I think humanity will be better off when we have a better understanding of two things: 1) how or mind works, and 2) how relationships work. I think the Encultured Brain takes us one step closer to that reality.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it’s a pleasure to read your blog.

Steven
